    "Off the Grid" Fall 2017

    I would like more information about how to work with the BLM. I am part of a Southern California group that has had to find private land to camp at because of the requirements they impose. We wanted to run the Mojave Trail and were told if there were going to be more than (I can't remember if it...

    "Off the Grid" Fall 2017

    An extreme amount of work goes into planning a gathering like this. Last year's event was held at Camp Edison which is a private campground on private property.

    This was great addition to my build also. It was a far amount of work but only about $25 in material and hardware. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    RTT Trailer on a Budget

    Yes, they were about $350. I was curious if I would need shocks because the rubber seems less "springy". So far they seem fine, and I can always add them. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    RTT Trailer on a Budget

    I used the torsion type axles to eliminate the axle running between the tires and minimize the chance of the axle getting hung up on obstacles on the trail. They worked great on a recent 9 day trip trough Utah.

    Started my trailer

    Well, finished the trailer and while the paint was still wet we hit the road and made our way to Moab Utah. Nothing quit like a baptism by fire. Two days in and we were on the Lockhart Basin Rd. The trailer performed flawlessly to my surprise and delight. The hitch design was amazing over...
